Why MYSTERIES? Because that is the genre I read. Why PARADISE? Because that is where I live.
Among other things, this blog, the result of a 2008 New Year's resolution, will act as a record of books that I've read, and random thoughts.

I would definitely go with your select over theirs. I keep saying I'm not getting an e-reader because I love books, but more and more ARC are being sent as e-books. So I either have to stay glued to my computer or think about getting a reader.

1) they ain't cheap, which leads to 2) how shatterproof, waterproof, dogproof, etc are they? And what happens when I break/lose the damn thing?3) I don't need to carry a library with me - just a couple of books (books are not like songs, where you dip in and out). 4) they don't smell/feel/bend like a book5) I don't make notes when reading novels - they're entertainment not work6) and a big negative to me - they will put local bookshops out of business

I love the instant download! No waiting for shipment to arrive, no having to check the library (especially if the book is cheap!) And I'm about to go on travel--these days luggage costs so much, it is going to be great to take along 5 (or more books) including some travel guides. All on one gadget.

I also love the sample feature. That really helps me decide if I want to purchase!
